Title: Introduction to the Programme/ Moodle and Eportfolios /Adult learning/ Time Management
Today was about introductions, welcoming us to the nursing associate programme, the apprenticeship requirements and also completion of some forms. I was introduced to Moodle, Eportfolios, adult learning and time management.
Moodle is a learning management system used to manage, deliver and measure learning online. Questions were asked on how adult learning differs from that of a child and I gave my own input. Adult learning seeks out continuous learning based on personal interest, wants and needs. I learnt about the five (5) key assumption of adult learning theory or andragogy developed by Malcolm Knowles (1968). Time management tips were taught which included prioritising, setting goals, avoiding procrastination, making a to-do list and tracking your time.
As I look back to today’s Learning, I understand the importance of time management and how it will help me achieve more, make me feel less stressed and improve my performance. I will be able to manage my time between placement, school work and my job.
I am able to log into my Eportfolios which will help me reflect on my learning, develop my writing, track my progress, and display my accomplishments.
